Scientific Sessions

Plant Science is the the study of the development of plants and the advancements and the utilization of plants for both domestic and industrial uses.Plant Science focuses on the hereditary and cell control pattern of plant development.It aims how by using the fundamental knowledge about plants genomics,plant proteomics, plant cell signaling we can bring about huge differences in the plant commercialization. By the knowledge of plant science we can use it to improve the agriculture techniques and create more sustainable measures than from now.

Agriculture is the bread source for any country. A lot of recent developments have been made in this sector recently.Few of them includes agricultural drones, using hydroponics technique and doing vertical farming instead of the traditional one.

Plant genomics focuses on the genetic makeup of the plants and their mapping. It gives importance to the creature’s genome and its characterization.It is a very important aspect of the plant science in which it gives a very detailed insight of the plant at the gene level. In this area of plant science the study applies system biology, Bioinformatics, DNA sequencing to give a detailed insight at the genetic level of plants. The plant genomics helps in developing the understanding of relationship between alleles and loci.With the knowledge of the plant at their genetic level it is easy to map and trace the hereditary graph of the plants. It is a very useful study in plant science.

Proteins are a vital part of all living beings may that be humans, animals or plants. Every form of life is made by this protein block of structure. Plant proteomics is the wide study of proteins in plants. The plant proteome is very fascinating and has been a very popular topic among the researchers. The genome sequencing of plants in this era will help in the better understanding of the the plants and will help in ensuring the food safety, food security and human health. This helps the high throughput techniques to be used and providing a means or a platform to disclose and reveal the secrets of plant genes . Analysis of the plant proteomics is done by mass spectroscopy techniques.

In sexual reproduction of plants two main fundamental processes are involved-meiosis and fertilization.Meiosis is the process in which genes are rearranged and number of chromosomes are reduced.In fertilization the complete chromosome is restored to the diploid number. It has been seen that many times plant’s male or female part is sterile. This will ultimately be a hurdle in the plant pollination process.

One of the recent study has put light on the the fact that genic male plant sterility can be due to the deficiency of the triterpene pathway. The study further revealed that the mutants due to not have a pollen coat which leads to the conditional sterility in plants.

Just like all other living beings plants also acquire and are prone to diseases which may be caused by the fungi, viruses or by bacteria. Sometimes the plants may also get prone to such environmental conditions which are not suitable for them to adapt.In such cases of extreme environmental conditions the plants tend to die eventually.Most of the plant diseases are caused by fungal or fungal like organisms.In case of bacterial plant diseases the symptoms include brown, necrotic lesions, yellow halo on leaf spot, crown gall, canker and fruit spot.Viral disease symptoms include mosaic leaf pattern, crinkled leaves, yellow leaves and stunting of the plants.

There are mostly morphological symptoms when a plant is having a disease which includes pale leaves, detectable change in color, change in the shape or function of plants as it responds to pathogens.Plants can be treated naturally also by experts or if beyond any treatment they must be thrown away on time.

The scientific study of plant diseases which are caused by infectious plant pathogens is called plant pathology. The organisms which cause diseases include bacteria, fungi, virus, oomycetes, nematodes, parasites, viroids. The plant pathology is a vast area which covers the study of pathogen identification, plant disease cycles, plant disease epidemiology, plant disease resistance.

The prevention and control of pathogen infections is very important in every view particularly in terms of agriculture. Using pathogen free seeds, control of field moisture, controlled use of pesticides and fertilizers, practicing crop rotation techniques are a few of a measures to prevent plants from getting pathogen infected. Plant diseases and infections can also be identified by spectroscopy techniques, biophotonics.

The tissue culture aims to grow plants from the parts where they have been cut.This is useful in the times when a plant has been injured or cut mistakingly but still it can grow from the

same site. This requires a nutrient medium for the plant to grow in such a way along with plant growth regulators- Hormones like auxin, cytokinin, giberellin etc.Plant cells,organs and tissue can grow with the help of this method but sterile conditions along with the nutrient medium. The explants required for this technique must be sterile.This is one of the most promising technique in the plant science.

The agronomic application of nanotechnology in the field of plant science is called phtyonanotechnology. This new field has the potential to change the conventional system of plant production. With the help of this new technology knowledge we can do controlled release of pesticides and fertilizers in the field. This will enable the farmers to have the knowledge of how much quantity the fertilizers has to be added.In the biotechnological aspect it will help in target specific release of nucleotides, proteins.A lot of recent studies have been focusing on the use of silver nanoparticles against the bacterial infections. There is a lot to do and explore in this new venture of plant science to make new developments.

In the current era people are inclined more towards the nature and tend to use more of the natural products. Medicines are no alien to the concept of natural products. A lot of researches and studies are been carried out by the researchers for the development of the medicines from plants. These herbal medicines are a great alternative to the already existing medicines. Globally Europe is more inclined towards this field of plant science. The world trade in Europe for medicinal plants is 45% making it a popular hotspot for the research and development in this field. A lot of plants are native of Europe only establishing the fact that there are lot of opportunities for the researchers and scholars to explore in this area of plant science.

If trends are to be followed then in Medicinal PlantsAyurveda is the most popular one i.e. 84% followed by Siddha 14%, Unani 2% and Homeopathy being the least i.e. 1%. The popularity of Ayurveda goes.Some of the plants are-Alpine cyclamen,Conifer Tuft Mushroom, Rue, Blackthorn,Yucca,Heartsease,Orange mullein.

The development of GMOs are a couple of years dated back but still there is a requirement to work more on them to make them globally acceptable.One of the recent advancements in this transgenics field is the production of the bio-fuel from the transgenic plants.

A recent study conducted by the researchers of University of Minnestoa showed that how wild rice present in lakes and streams can predict their health.

The wild rice grows best in the low-sulfate regions. Due to the human activities like mining, waste discharge, industrial run-off a lot of sulfate is introduced into these waterways.This sulfate is converted into toxic sulfide in the soil where the wild rice germinates and grows. Due this introduced toxic component ;the wild rice is not able to grow.

This new research related to the wild rice is a very innovative and one of its kind parameter to check the presence of sulfate in the water body.This recent research is a very prominent one I the field of plant science as due to the sulfate the crops were getting spoiled.But now a check can be kept on the elevated levels of sulfate and thus the crop yield can be maintained thus enabling the food chain to be sustainable and balanced one.

This recent research in plant science has a promising future as it can solve one of the biggest problems faced by the ecosystem that is pollution.

All these techniques are useful in enabling to give the molecular level understanding to the researchers and thus enabling the farmers and cultivators to grow the plants which can yield high production rates.

A new research and study from the University of Toronto Mississauga exhibits that microorganisms are required for the overall growth and health of plants.When plants will be in good health they can ensure a good crop yield.This will definitely help in maintaining a sustainable food chain.The development of the research in this area is a crucial one.It will help the crop plants to survive the drought conditions and will ultimately lead to the increase in the crop yield.

It is undoubtedly one of the best recent researches in the plant science that enables the plants to mitigate naturally the drought conditions. It is one of the research that should be worked upon more to bring about revolutionary changes in plant science and will help the farmers in a more practical way.

With the advent of new advancements every day a lot of techniques are coming. This has affected plant science also . Apart from the traditional and conventional methods a lot of new agricultural techniques, new plant based products and new innovations have come which overall are enabling the plant science to get more advanced and updated. Few of these recent advancements are mentioned.

Vertical Farming utilizes the idea of growing plants in vertical stacked layers. The plants are grown on vertical supports or are inclined towards a media.

This modern technique of vertical farming uses indoor farming techniques and controlled conditions agricultural practices. This helps in the utilizing the space which is empty. In the plant science it has to advance more for it to become the permanent solution.This new development has a very huge advantage that it can be done in the indoors and utilizes the little space also very efficiently.Some vertical farms uses the combination of greenhouse where they can use artificial lights and metal reflectors.

Micro Irrigation System is a type of irrigation system that provides water through small devices. This can be done by spraying, sprinkling or dripping water on the crop lands. The water is offered to the plants by spraying water on the surface of the plants or directly deep into their roots. It is a very popular technique in all parts may that be arid region or a humid region because it saves water and prevents any scope of excess water being given to the plants.

Soy milk is a plant based drink obtained from the soybean plant. It is a boon for the people who are lactose intolerant Due to the lactose intolerance such people cannot get the benefits of the milk or the dairy products. Soy milk has been proved to be the best alternatives for such people.It has given a new meaning to the daily use application of the plant science in daily needs. A lot of new techniques are emerging to provide the same with more advancements in the near coming future.
